She thought she was losing her mind. But something else was taking it
Another Me (2013) is a psychological thriller laced with mystery and a deep sense of creeping dread. Starring Sophie Turner in her first major film role, the movie dives into the unsettling concept of identity—what happens when someone who looks exactly like you begins living your life, replacing you bit by bit, and no one else seems to notice… or care.
Sophie Turner plays Fay, a quiet, emotionally burdened teenager whose life begins to unravel after her father is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Already coping with grief and instability, Fay begins to sense a strange presence—someone who mimics her movements, follows her at a distance, and starts appearing in places she hasn’t been. Her grades, her relationships, even her reputation begin shifting, as if someone else is living her life for her.
But it’s not just paranoia. Something—or someone—is taking over.
The film plays like a slow-burning descent into fractured reality, as Fay questions her own sanity while trying to hold on to what’s left of her world. Director Isabel Coixet crafts a haunting atmosphere, where mirrors reflect more than just images, and silence becomes more terrifying than any scream. As the truth behind Fay’s “double” slowly comes to light, we’re left to wonder whether the enemy is supernatural, psychological… or both.
Far from a traditional horror film, Another Me leans into psychological tension and emotional trauma, exploring how identity can fracture under stress, and how sometimes the scariest thing isn’t losing control—it’s watching yourself fade away.
